Like AC/DC famously said – “It’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.” Thankfully, this logistical nightmare doesn’t apply to beer. Unless of course, the excitable bunch at Moa dispatches you south with the promise of unearthing a whole stash of the stuff throughout some of the South Island’s killer spots. Sure it might be a long way for some, however at Fluke we more often than not choose to focus on the journey not the destination.

Calling in on like-minded adventurers, we travelled from plains to hinterland hunting for the right spots to dig deep for some #MoaMoments. Subsequently, we found ourselves dusting off quite a few of NZ’s true relics in terms of quality craft beer along the way.
